Engineering Company, American President

Pros

Salary and benefits. Company has a Philanthropic bent.

Cons

Difficult if female. All operations women (outside of HR) with any authority demoted. Difficult if non-engineer. All non-engineer staff with any authority demoted in favour of engineers, some with less than 6 months at company. President is American and brings the USA litigious approach. Core company values are a myth if President perceives interference with his agenda. Philanderer and favors American friends. HR group is massive reflecting on number of HR related tracking transactions and corporate staff numbers. HR members are feared due to executive level influence. HR business partners will not hesitate at going above supervisory head to achieve HR agenda. Very political, very camped (guarded) departmental environment. Attempting to affect change where it is desperately needed can be an exercise in international career threatening relations.

Pros

Smart and engaged colleagues and a fast paced, at times rewarding, workplace.

Cons

Increasingly poor treatment of employees, to the point of deceitful. Management micromanages while all others are not given authority or decision making responsibilities. Work life balance is a joke.

Pros

Lots of great people working here in the trenches. There are some very good leaders as well.

Cons

It's unclear where our company is going. No strategic direction. New Executive Chairman and President have paid themselves excessive compensation - $15 million - while conducting global layoffs. New management have made it clear they think employees are to blame for all bad outcomes or the company. Sweat shop environment. No room for progressing your career. Career progression at the company is just getting more work without more pay or title.
